Gar ID/ Two different species?

[KiiNGGiiNGER]

I originally purchased the smaller of the three gar (top in second pic, bottom in first) with the darker spots about 6 months ago under the name florida gar....but yesterday purchased two more that seem to be quite different looking. Can anyone give me a clear ID on both species? Thanks!

right now, i would say that you have 2 Florida gars and 1 long nose. With the long nose being the first one that you got. that long nose have some really unique spotted pattern there but I not so sure whether or not those spots can keep that round shape when the fish grow bigger.

HungDang good call on the longnose, other 2 look like possible spotted gars to me even, eitherway all 3 look great!

Agreed. The long nosed one is obviously a long nose (lol), and the other two just don't look quite right compared to most FL gars.
